Your rights
Good Faith Estimate
Under the No Surprises Act, people who are uninsured or not using insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges for their care. The point is simple: you should know what the cost is likely to be before the work begins.

What you can expect here
Before ongoing services begin, Juniper Ridge Therapy can provide a Good Faith Estimate that reflects the information known at the time: the kind of service being scheduled, the current fee, and the expected frequency if that is already clear.
What the estimate usually covers
- The current fee for the service being discussed.
- Whether the estimate is based on weekly, biweekly, or other expected visits.
- Any known non-session charges that apply before care starts.
- The fact that you are billed only for services you actually receive.
What can change
A Good Faith Estimate is an estimate, not a contract. Therapy may last a shorter or longer time than first expected. Session frequency may shift. Your needs may become clearer after the first meetings. If the plan of care changes, the estimate can change too.
Who this matters most to
This protection is especially relevant if you do not have insurance or if you are choosing not to use it for therapy. If you plan to use insurance, your final out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan and is not fully controlled by the practice.
Your federal rights
If you receive a Good Faith Estimate and are charged substantially more than that estimate, federal law gives you a way to dispute the bill. Current federal guidance says the dispute process may apply when the final bill is at least $400 higher than the estimate from a provider or facility.
